ABSTRACT
This chapter shows psychoanalytic process in a case of childhood trauma. In the psychic realities of the case there are unconscious beliefs about destruction and the unconscious presence of trauma and fantasies about what caused it. The finding of the traumatic experience and the fantasies related to it and arising from it were developed into metaphor through transference and countertransference awareness and major enactments discovering landscapes in the fog of timelessness. The chapter highlights three ways that see the opening of space taking place: through the analytic process of witnessing, through breaking the spell of timelessness with enactment processes, and with a capacity to feel grief. Enactment processes often provide building blocks for metaphor which in turn is a pathway to unconscious fantasy. Unconscious fantasies concerning body, relationship, love, hate, and annihilation eventually came into view to "find" more and more of the unconscious fantasies appearing in the analytic work.
